Captain Gerard Charles Muirhead-Gould, D.S.C., R.N. (29 May, 1889 – 26 June, 1945) served in the Royal Navy.
Life & Career
Born in London, Muirhead-Gould listed his mother as his guardian upon joining the Navy in January, 1904.[1]
On 20 March 1909 he was admitted to Haslar Hospital for appendicitis, causing him to miss gunnery the following month. He did obtain a first-class certificate in Gunnery in August, however.[2]
Muirhead-Gould was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 30 December, 1910.[3]
During the war, he served in Defence, worked with armoured trains from January to September 1915, and then was briefly in Argonaut. On 3 December 1916 he was appointed to Emperor of India as flag lieutenant for the Rear-Admiral, moving with him to Colossus on 12 June, 1916. Later appointments placed him in Southampton, Birmingham and Lord Nelson for signalling.[4]
In 1918, he was "regarded" as qualifying in Signals. This notation in his Service Record is unusual.[5]
Muirhead-Gould was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 30 December, 1918.[6]
Muirhead-Gould was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1924. In 1926, he lost an anchor and cable from Bluebell through what was deemed an error in judgement.[7]
Muirhead-Gould was promoted to the rank of Captain on 31 December, 1931.[8]
World War II
After being lent to the Royal Australian Navy on 3 February, 1940, he was placed on the Retired List on 9 July, 1941.[9]
Muirhead-Gould died of an acute heart attack.
